Goodbye to Love

I've never been in love
I'm afraid to fall in love
and I'm afraid I won't
I loved you. I loved you very much.
but I never fell in love with you.
I thought we were soul mates
but you never fell in love with me
so I never fell in love with you
but oh, how I wanted to
back then. But now, I don't know.
I don't know if I can trust you with my heart;
I know I'll be heart broken
in the end.
because in the end, my friend,
we must always say goodbye.

Sour Soul Mates

my heart clutches in my chest
as thoughts of you fill my head
and I wonder if you're alright.
our weird connection worries me
tonight; the way we finished
each others thoughts, each
others sentences, knew
exactly the right gift, the
right meal to make, the
right movie to bring home,
the right CD to play, without
saying a word. more like
one pea in a pod, the other
not needed. and though
we're millions miles
apart in spirit and just
around the corner,
I still hope
that you're okay.
